This article explores the complexities of cultural identity within the context of globalization, focusing on the tension between cultural homogenization and the preservation of cultural uniqueness. The article argues that while globalization facilitates crosscultural exchanges, it simultaneously risks eroding traditional cultural identities. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the research draws on sociological, anthropological, and political perspectives to examine how globalization affects individual and collective cultural identities, especially in multicultural societies. Case studies from diverse regions provide empirical support, while data on cultural assimilation and resistance trends are represented through charts and tables. The article concludes with recommendations for fostering cultural diversity in the globalized world.
